MONITORING METHOD AND MONITORING APPARATUS FOR MACHINE TOOL, AND MACHINE TOOL
First Claim
1. A monitoring method for monitoring a machining state relating to vibration in a machine tool that performs machining by rotating a tool or a work piece mounted on a main spindle, the monitoring method comprising the steps of:
- detecting vibration accompanying the machining;
detecting a rotation speed of the main spindle;
creating a stability limit diagram illustrating a relationship between the rotation speed and a stability limit of the machining on the basis of vibration information obtained in the vibration detection step and the rotation speed detected in the rotation detection step, and displaying the created stability limit diagram on a display unit; and
displaying a current rotation speed on the stability limit diagram in the form of a straight line that is orthogonal to a rotation speed axis.

Abstract
The monitoring apparatus includes vibration sensors that detect vibration accompanying machining, a rotation detector and a rotation detection section that detect rotation of a main spindle, and a stability limit and vibration distribution calculation section that creates, on the basis of vibration information obtained from the vibration sensors and a rotation speed of the main spindle detected by the rotation detector and rotation detection section, both a stability limit diagram illustrating a relationship between the rotation speed and a stability limit of the machining and a vibration distribution diagram illustrating a relationship between the rotation speed and the vibration, and displays the created diagrams on a monitor in a vertical arrangement.
